It may still be the heat of summer, but for drivers, gas prices may feel a little like spring.
National regular gas prices averaged $3.36 a gallon going into the Labor Day weekend, hovering near lows not seen since March, AAA found. The average is 14 cents lower than the same time last month and $1.66 less than the all-time high recorded in June 2022.
Gas prices have been lower this summer than in recent ones. AAA data shows the national gas price average is around 50 cents a gallon less than during the same time in the past two years. However, the national average is hovering at about 20 cents more than during the same period in 2021.
Geopolitical tensions are having a limited effect on gas prices right now and cease-fire talks could further calm oil investors worries.
A relatively calm storm season is also helping keep prices lower. Limited disruptions at gasoline-producing oil refineries helping push gas prices lower and could help keep prices steady over the rest of the year, analysts said.
“The clouds of war overseas are less dark at the moment and the Atlantic is quiet now too, which is taking pressure off of oil prices,” said AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross in a press release.

If you're road-tripping this Labor Day, you'll get farther if you steer clear of the West Coast.
National prices for a regular gallon of gas averaged $3.36 Wednesday, hovering near lows not seen since spring. However, gas prices vary by location. Local economics, state regulations, and proximity to supply locations all factor into the cost of gas in each area.
In some states, drivers are enjoying gas prices as low as $2.92 per gallon, while drivers in other states are paying as much as $4.62.
Hawaii, California and Washington are among the states with the highest average gas prices, while Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee residents are all paying less than $3 for a gallon of gas.
While West Coast gas prices may be the highest in the nation, drivers there are paying about 65 cents less on average than at the same time last year, gas price-tracking website GasBuddy estimates.
Lower prices could persist nationwide through the rest of the year, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
"The good news is we’re seeing perhaps the best opportunity in years for the national average to fall below $3 per gallon," De Haan said. "As we get closer to Thanksgiving, we should see tens of thousands of stations ultimately fall back below that level.”

The Supreme Court denied an attempt by President Joe Biden's Administration to restore the Saving for a Valuable Education (SAVE) repayment plan.
Earlier this month, the Biden Administration filed an emergency request that asked the Supreme Court to lift a block placed on the SAVE plan by lower tribunals. The Supreme Court denied the request on Wednesday, upholding the injunction and allowing the block to continue.
The injunction will likely be in place until the court case arguing the plan's legality is resolved.
The income-driven repayment plan, which offered lower monthly payments and easier loan forgiveness, has been blocked since mid-July. Borrowers have been held in limbo as two cases, led by Republican-majority states seeking to block the SAVE plan, worked their way through federal courts.
The lawsuits argue that the SAVE plan's eventual cost is too high for the White House to authorize alone. The case's back-and-forth has resulted in forbearance for all borrowers enrolled in the plan until the cases are resolved.
With this injunction upheld, the merits cases will be argued in lower courts and may eventually be brought back to the Supreme Court.
